+
+Installs a GC listener for the collection of `target`.
+
+This uses `async_hooks` for GC tracking. This means that it enables
+`async_hooks` tracking, which may affect the test functionality. It also
+means that between a `global.gc()` call and the listener being invoked
+a full `setImmediate()` invocation passes.
+
+`listener` is an object to make it easier to use a closure; the target object
+should not be in scope when `listener.ongc()` is created.
